Ingredients

2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
2 lemons, quartered
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Tomatillo-Horseradish Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Fill a medium saucepan with 2 quarts cold water. Add the salt, coriander, peppercorns and lemon wedges, squeezing the juice into the pot first, and bring to a boil. Let boil for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the shrimp, and simmer for about 4 minutes, or until just cooked through. Drain the shrimp in a colander, transfer to a bowl, cover and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

When shrimp is chilled, serve with dipping sauce.

Tomatillo-Horseradish Sauce:

12 tomatillos, husked, washed, and cut in 1/2
1 large red onion, coarsely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 to 3 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup prepared horseradish, drained
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeno on a half-sheet pan, toss with the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mixture is soft, but do not allow it to color, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and process until smooth. Add the vinegar, honey, horseradish, and cilantro and pulse just to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Scrape into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Nice twist
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this as an appetizer with Christmas dinner this year. When making the sauce, I kept the seeds in the jalapenos and it... made it pretty spicy which my fiance' and I love but the rest of the family wasn't that excited about it. The shrimp were delicious!! Next time maybe I'll only keep seeds in one jalapeno to tone it down a little.Read more

Outstanding
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is unbelievable from the shrimp to the dip. first the dip..what can I say?! Roasting the veggies is key, I agree... that you should add the honey as needed. I only used 1 T and it was great. I use this over chicken also. Now the shrimp...yep yep yep. Great taste with the lemons and corriander and pepper. WowRead more
